I ni'lVfv T r ' o l-l 02 il A Falber's Counsels. tt was a time of great political excitement some twenty years ago, and just as they do uow a-days, college boys partook of the feeling as warmly as their fathers at home. "Come, Charley. Tom Corwin is to speak at Napleton to-morrow night, let us hire a team and drive up; Ned Leslie will go along, I know, and help bear the expenses." Neither of the youths were very flush of fundi. One was a farmer's son, and t 4 the other the sen of a country parson. Ned Leslie was a young man in a store down town, who was always on very gno'd terms with the students, and "trained in their company" rather than in that of l is fellow townsmen. It was quite a stroke of policy to ask Ned, as be alwdys had plenty of money and spent it frceley. He was; moreover, a very handsome, stylish fellow, arid a general favorite in society. The arrangements were completed that afternoon, and shortly after tea Abe next day, the three set out with a dashing livery stable establishment, the choosing and settling for which had been left to Ned, His sharpsighteduss and famil iarty with the business was a good guarantee that they should not be victimized by the rather unscrupulous owner. Ned drove, and they came dsshiog up to the village hotel in a style that make the plain country people stare, and the blushins girls look on with unfeigned admiration. 'Studeuts from K was the comment from one and another, andthe landlord made baste to show them ail suitable attention. Charles Vining bad left bis country home with the prajers and blessiogs of piSus parents. The counsel? ol his father had sounded in bis ears from child hooa; especially had he been cautioned with regard to the company with which he walked. His father had been among the earliest to join in the Temperance movement, and he had from that time banished the decanter fromhis-side-board, where it had always held a respected place as one of the needful ad units of true hospitality. Now no one was more strictly temperate than be, and Charles had been taught the same principles. Ala I our I.oy of christian training was ia great danger in that village tavern. But not iu as great danger as the tall, black-ejrd parson's boy. llis father was one of those erratic beings, of whom the kindest thing you could say, would be that tf:C7 were" half-craed. If they might make this plea for their iucYinsh-eut behavior, it would be a mercy. Ooe trembles to think of the responsibility of fl'uch bliud guides,1 unless they are iintted not wholly "-c-pousible. Poor Arthur Alwood had no tuch training, no such armor of prayer to shield him in hours of danger. The three engaged a room, and had call'5J for lhfuors. They were duly brought, and .Arthur and Ned each took their glass, proferring the fame to Charles. He coolly decliued, the memory of his father's teachings coming back with power t his heart. 4'0h, come, don'f set yourself up to be so much better tharr other felts. . You wont have half a time if you don't have a glass of something. Hero, Charley, drink this," and Arthur pushed the tumbler toward him. "Thank .you," said Charley, shoving it back with a little scornlul curl to hi? lips. '-My spirits dou't require suoh ttmulants ia order to aprec ate a spec h If yours do, y?u can use :hetu." The boys said no more, for Charley had a decision of manner when he chose to show it, that there was uo' gainsaying. Besides he had a total disregard for whatever urght hi jj-aid to tLo contrary, when sQTe he was right. Decision in a ncht cause has teeu the sa?lng of many a young man, even wbeo placed in scenes of great temptation; it never fails to com mand respect also, while a weak, vas ciUating spirit makes its possessor the prey of every designing person, ana au object of ridicule even am jug those who taught him ta go astray. The three soon sallied forth to the "place of gathering, and were like all the res carried away with the enthusiasm of the hour. The swarthy orator movey4them - ... a t - 1 I. at bis will to nr.rtn cr saauess, dui more frequently, the former. JSo wonder that the young students partook of the enlbu-tbusiasm, and applauded and cheered with the noisest. Many eyes were turned towards the Tarty; Ned and Arthur's behavior being just reckless enough to call forh remark without being sufficient for interference. Charley was thoroughly ashamed of his company, and' saw plainly that he was classed along with. them. He Degan to realize toe iruia oi his father's teachings, "a man is known by the company bekeep3." More brandy was called for at the hotel before they set out for home, and Charley' saw fit to take the lines himself. "When the' wine is in the wix is out,' I think sure enough," tie s?id as he struck "the pike'' on the way home. 4A precious pair of fools you made of yourselves to night. I would call for some thing a little milder than' brandy next time, until your heads get a lit t re tough erand better able to stand it. l am afraid roast coffee would be a little too strong for you, according to the demon stration you have made of your abilities to-nignt. .'. He thinks we are . drunk," chuckled Arthur. "I have a great notion to knock ete was rejoicing at the family alter r good Mr," A ining's roof, when a his hat off. He's excited and his Lead needs cooling." I 'If you do, you'll be very likely to ride home without yours," said Charley.''Stop yqar foolins." said Ned, anxious to avoid a scuffle. ''When do'jou think we'll get home if we have to keep stopping to pick up hats? Brooms wili charge us two psices for the horse if not home before twelve." This had the desired effect of stopping any wrangling that might be springing up. Pocket moocy was'ntj plenty. Charley's reflections were not pleasant when he went to rest that night. He would hav been ashamed fur his lather or mother or sisters to have seen him in such company: He would hate enjoyed the addresses but for the ridicd-leu's behavior of the boys and the consciousness that in the eyes of all present be was one of them. "Ahj father was Tight; father was right," he tliought as he turnrd uneasily upon his pillow. Arthur's conscience did not trouble him. It was only the headache that made him so dull next day,and au empt pocket that made him so cross. Both felt that the trip had not piid. Charley learned a lesson from it that lasted all his life. It was really in this sense a valuable experience for him. Gradually be drifted loose from that class of stu-deuts in Colleg3, and attached himself more closely to aootner set, more noted for their good schoo'a sH p. It was not a remarkable coincidence that they were also students noted for sound minds aud steady habits. It is not the fast young men iu colleges who take the highest honors. t Charley was elected a member of t society which is always chosen from the upper third of the class. This separated him still further from Arthur, and drew him still more intimately into abetter circle. At last came one of those blessed showers of grace which so often come in auswer tr prayer, and many of the most thoughtless were turned into the narrow way that leads to the celestial gate. Th under " letter told them oi the change in their ecu's views and prospects for life. With a glad heart they bid him God spceJ in h.s Juew purpose of ttudying for the ministry. Years, sped on, and both left ollege. Their old friend Ned had gone to a distant State, peeking vainly tbel st health he hd squandered in dissipation. Arthur prepared to make telegraphing his holiness lor life, and with his abilities he was enable to rise to the very height of his prole-sion. But Lis love for strong drink was growing upon him, and every o e looked upon huu, as a man that was fast making a wreck of himself. The war Came, and he obtained it pLce at the head of one of the most important telegraphing positions ia the whole army. A frieud who saw mm, sara that his skill and ability ere of the highest order, but be was fast losing all comrcantT of himself by stroug drink. He came aowu one evening talking the most maudlin nonsense, insisting on playing some foolish pranks jwith the parlies pre?ent, and ending by tai:iug over on the floor dead drunk,' They car ried him to sleep off his fit. fcince then his progress has been rapidly downward. Wheu one irets so near the too: or tne hill, the momentum is very gre it. Wbeth er be has yet reiehed the dark pit of a drunkard's grave, which' lies at the bot' urn, I cannot say, but this is a saa en ding of the career of the once dashing, handsome Arthur Atwood. 'It was my father' teachings," said Charles as b'e tcld me a few days ago his old class-mate's history, "that kept me from falling into the same snare. I remembered' bis words that night we went to the" political meeting together, and I did not drink with them.

She forgot that the mot exquisitely wrought column is of stone, and helps support the architrave. The Chevalier Bayard, or 8ir Philip Sidney carries a guitar upon a ribbon, but his sward is hung 'upon leather beneath it. He kueels in graceful compliment to the queen, but be kneels also in prayer to his Maker. The charm of such a character is resistless. How little Sidney did, yet bow much he is the darling of the history of his time, as he was of bis contemporaries Horace Walpble, Who called Goldsmith an inspired idiot, is; tHe only Englishmen who sneers at Sidney. He was kind of flower men, and, like other flow exs he neither toiled or spun. A cumbrous and stately novel in the affected style of his time; a noble essay apon poetry, a few memorable 6onoets, which bis letter to Elizabeth against the French marriase are all that remain to us of what he did. Nobody reads of his 'Arcadia,' few know the sonnets; his letter to the queen is forgotten. But Sidney survives. His name is the synonyme of courtesy and grace, of accomplishment and valor. And he names for us a whole class of men. gentle and spirited as he was, men of the truest temper, of rare gifts, of suotile fascination, whose com-f mg is bright as daylight, and whose refining influence is a permanent benediction.Some of our readers may have seen the name' of a young man of this kind who died not long ago in England Ju.iau Fane. A memoir of him by bis" frieud, Robert Lytton, better known, perhaps, by his author's name, Owen Merideth, was lately published, ifi which the simple tale of the wholy uneventful life of Mr. Fane is so well told that the character cf the man himelf is clearly coovfeyed, with the beautiful impression of his purity and grace, arid soure cooception of that personal influence which Mr. Lytton truly calls "incomrnu-ble." -'Yet," he adds, "the influence of these men upon the society they adorn is too beneficicnt to be altogether evanescent, their present animates and sustains whatever is loveliest in social Hfe; The world's dim and dusty atmosphere grows golden in the light of it. Their mere look rebukts vulgarity. Their conversations elevates their lowest aud brightens the dullest theme. Their intel-ectual sympathy is often the unacknowledged begetter of other men's intellectual labor; amf in the charm of their companionship we are' conscious of those benignant influences which the Greeks culled Graces, but which Christianity has couverted into Charities." Kditobs Easv CilAIR, in Harpers Magazine for December. Dr. Beaumont's Experiment.' Many Christians who bear the loss of a child, or of their property . witn tne tnsst heroic Christian fortitude, are entirely vanquished by. the breaking, of a dish, or a blunder of a servant. Newton. - ' ..... v Once and only onc, irf tb6' lifetime of of man, an intelligent human eye has been able to look into the stomach, and watch the process cf digestion. In 1822 at the United States military post of Mlehilitnacktnac, Alexjs St Martin', a Canad an of French extraction, received" aecidentlv a heavv charsre of duck-shot j u in his side, while he was standing one yard from the muzzle of the gun. The wound was frightful. One ot. the lungs protuded, and Irom aperture in the ptcm. ach the food recently eaten was oozing. Dr. William Beaumont,U.S. A., the surgeon'' of the post, Was notified, and dress-ed.ths wound. In exactly one year from that day the young mau was well enocgb to get out of doors,- and walk about tbe fort, and he continued to improve, in health and strength, until he was strong and hardy as most of bjs rape. He married, become tbe father of a large family and performed for many years the laborious duties appertaining to o officer 8 servant at frontier post.. But.the aperture into the stomach never closed", , ami the patient would not submit to the painful operation by which such wounds axe sometimes closed r artificially. He wore a cempress arranged by the doctor, without which- his dinner was not sate after he had eaten -it.' . By a most blessed chance it happened that this, Vr. William .Beaumont, station ed there on the outskirts of creation; was an intelligent, ioqaisitive human being & perceived all the value of the opportunity afforded him by his unique event, he eft about . tmrxoyinsr that opportunity. He took the yoting toWinto his. service, and at interval! for eight years he exoerimented unon him. He alone amonsr the sons of men has seen liquid flowing into the stomach of a living per son while vet the Teasel was attbe drink er's lips. Through the aperture (which npd two and a half in circum fence) ho. mild -watch-the entire operation of Attract Awt ha did m hundreds of times. - If the man's stomach aclied. h could' look into If asm! sec what waVhe matter '3nd.aying.rfncl oafj tie wculd drop i rectifying pill cto the aperture. He ascertained the tineitiake to "''dtsr gest each of these articles of food commonly eaten, and tbeffcgtsf all usual errors in eiting and drinking; in 1833 ho published a thin volume at Plattsb-jrg; on Lake Cbamplaiu. in which the results of thousands of experiments and obscrvi tions were only too briefly stated. He appears not to have heard of tetotalisru. and hence all that he says upon the effects of alcoholic liquors is free froinf the suspicion which the arrogance 'and extravagance of eome teetotalers bave thrown over much that haj been pnb lished on, this subject. With a mind un-biased,' Dr. B"eaumont, peering into the stomach cf this stout Canadian, notices -a glass of brandy causes tbe coats of? that organ to assume the same inflimei appearance as when be had been very angry.-or ruacli frightened, or had overeaten, j or had the flow of perspiration suddenly i checded. Id other words; brandy played the part of a joe in his system, not that of a friend, it produced effects which were morbid not healthy. Nor did it make any. material difference whether St. Martin afank brandy, whisky, wine, cider; or beer; except so far as one was stronger than tbe other.' ' v ' ''Simple water says,"Dr. Beaumont, "is perhaps the only fluid called for by the wants of the. economy. The. artificial 'drinks art probably all more or leas injurious, some more than others, but none Can elauri exemption from the general charge. 'Even tea atd coffeev tbe the common be ve razes of ail classes of people, have a tendency to debiltate the digestive organs. .The,'-whole class of alcoholic liquors may be considered as narcotics, producing very little difference in their ultimate enects upon tne system. He ascertained (not gtfessed; - ,nr: in , ferred, but ascertained; watcli irfh'anch that such thiogs as mustard, horse radish and pepper retard digestion. - At 'the close of his invaluable work Df. 'Beau mont appends a long list of '-Inferences' among which are the following: - "That solid food Cf a certain texture Is' easier of digestion than fluid, that stimulating condiments are injurious to the healthy system, that the use of ardent spirits always produce disease of the stomaCli if persisted in, that water, ardent spirits, and most other fluids, are not affected by the gas trie Juice, but pass from the stomach soon after they have been received One thing appears to have much surprised Dr. Beaumont, and that was the de- gree to which St.' Martin's system could be disorderedjjfithout h's being much in-1 convenienced by it. After driokiug hard every day tor eight or tecf days, ibe gtomach would show alarming appearances of disease, aud yet tho man would ouly feel a slight headacbe, 8od a srentle .dullness end languor." James Par ton. Early Progress of Christianity In tfcre Epsi. , , Man j no donbt wiU be surprised f" reading Polo's book, to observe tbe frequent indications it affords of the widespread diffusion of Chris-fra'cily in bis d.ij throughout Central aod East-tera Asia. Without laying too much stress upon tbe reputed preaching of tbe Gospel abd pianli'og of .churches by the apostles in Peir"a, India and Cbiaa, though there is good reasoa to believe that St. Thomas, whose body according to Polo, lies burifd near M tdra.", preached tbe Oospel in tbe lar East, still, it is quite certain tnat Christianity at an early day was disseminata ed quite generally throughout Asia and the Island of the Indian Ocean. At a very- early period there were Christian bishops at Susa aod Persepolis, at Herat, Samarcand, and in SeisUin while tbe Catalan map bears witness to the existence of an Armenian monastry near Lake iRsukul, 'to the north of Kaibgar. Christianity was introduced into China in tbe early tiart of tbe seventh century, about the same - - time as .Mohammedisrn, or immediately after the era of the Uegira. In fact during this apd the succeeding centuries there were flourishing christian churches in every considerable city of central Asia as far east as Yarkand and Kasgar with a chain of bishops aud metropolitans trom Jerusalem to Pekin. f n' Polo's time we Snd Christians not only all along bis route bf travel to the court cf the Great Khan, but also on his return voyage along tbe Coromandel coast in Abyssinia, and especially ia Socotra, an island of the IndUn Sea. Njr were ttese simply missionary out- poits. Kashgar was the seat of a metropolitan see, and so w is Sjcotra, traces of which re nained as late as tbe seventeenth century. At Mosul we find Nestorian and Jacobite Caris-tians, with a patriarchy whom they call the ja- tolic, creates archbishops and abbotg and pre lates of all other degrees, and send them into every quarter, as to India, to Baud?, 6t tJ t?a thay, just as the Pope of Rome does in the Jjt- iA Aiintrips.9 . - 1 . j Xs to tbe causes which led fc tbe "de-cadence an! final disappearance of Christian : ty ia the E st, it may be obeerved that -ih parity of-QhrUtlan doctrine and practice appear r hare become cradually corrupted by its con stant contact with idolatry; and fiaally bjj ingrafting upou its cefeBronial, from unce ro lime, igan rites and cereminies, it at length beca-e merged ia paganism . itself. Polo relates 'that in his time Christian priests practiced as trologj with. a kind of astrolabe,'' together with diviaa-ftm by roas, the tarns as Mm priests of Boddba; while in Abyssinia, they observed the double baptism of fire and water-tie former branding a mark upon the forehead and ether caeek with a hot iron.

I ni'lVfv T r ' o l-l 02 il A Falber's Counsels. tt was a time of great political excitement some twenty years ago, and just as they do uow a-days, college boys partook of the feeling as warmly as their fathers at home. "Come, Charley. Tom Corwin is to speak at Napleton to-morrow night, let us hire a team and drive up; Ned Leslie will go along, I know, and help bear the expenses." Neither of the youths were very flush of fundi. One was a farmer's son, and t 4 the other the sen of a country parson. Ned Leslie was a young man in a store down town, who was always on very gno'd terms with the students, and "trained in their company" rather than in that of l is fellow townsmen. It was quite a stroke of policy to ask Ned, as be alwdys had plenty of money and spent it frceley. He was; moreover, a very handsome, stylish fellow, arid a general favorite in society. The arrangements were completed that afternoon, and shortly after tea Abe next day, the three set out with a dashing livery stable establishment, the choosing and settling for which had been left to Ned, His sharpsighteduss and famil iarty with the business was a good guarantee that they should not be victimized by the rather unscrupulous owner. Ned drove, and they came dsshiog up to the village hotel in a style that make the plain country people stare, and the blushins girls look on with unfeigned admiration. 'Studeuts from K was the comment from one and another, andthe landlord made baste to show them ail suitable attention. Charles Vining bad left bis country home with the prajers and blessiogs of piSus parents. The counsel? ol his father had sounded in bis ears from child hooa; especially had he been cautioned with regard to the company with which he walked. His father had been among the earliest to join in the Temperance movement, and he had from that time banished the decanter fromhis-side-board, where it had always held a respected place as one of the needful ad units of true hospitality. Now no one was more strictly temperate than be, and Charles had been taught the same principles. Ala I our I.oy of christian training was ia great danger in that village tavern. But not iu as great danger as the tall, black-ejrd parson's boy. llis father was one of those erratic beings, of whom the kindest thing you could say, would be that tf:C7 were" half-craed. If they might make this plea for their iucYinsh-eut behavior, it would be a mercy. Ooe trembles to think of the responsibility of fl'uch bliud guides,1 unless they are iintted not wholly "-c-pousible. Poor Arthur Alwood had no tuch training, no such armor of prayer to shield him in hours of danger. The three engaged a room, and had call'5J for lhfuors. They were duly brought, and .Arthur and Ned each took their glass, proferring the fame to Charles. He coolly decliued, the memory of his father's teachings coming back with power t his heart. 4'0h, come, don'f set yourself up to be so much better tharr other felts. . You wont have half a time if you don't have a glass of something. Hero, Charley, drink this," and Arthur pushed the tumbler toward him. "Thank .you," said Charley, shoving it back with a little scornlul curl to hi? lips. '-My spirits dou't require suoh ttmulants ia order to aprec ate a spec h If yours do, y?u can use :hetu." The boys said no more, for Charley had a decision of manner when he chose to show it, that there was uo' gainsaying. Besides he had a total disregard for whatever urght hi jj-aid to tLo contrary, when sQTe he was right. Decision in a ncht cause has teeu the sa?lng of many a young man, even wbeo placed in scenes of great temptation; it never fails to com mand respect also, while a weak, vas ciUating spirit makes its possessor the prey of every designing person, ana au object of ridicule even am jug those who taught him ta go astray. The three soon sallied forth to the "place of gathering, and were like all the res carried away with the enthusiasm of the hour. The swarthy orator movey4them - ... a t - 1 I. at bis will to nr.rtn cr saauess, dui more frequently, the former. JSo wonder that the young students partook of the enlbu-tbusiasm, and applauded and cheered with the noisest. Many eyes were turned towards the Tarty; Ned and Arthur's behavior being just reckless enough to call forh remark without being sufficient for interference. Charley was thoroughly ashamed of his company, and' saw plainly that he was classed along with. them. He Degan to realize toe iruia oi his father's teachings, "a man is known by the company bekeep3." More brandy was called for at the hotel before they set out for home, and Charley' saw fit to take the lines himself. "When the' wine is in the wix is out,' I think sure enough," tie s?id as he struck "the pike'' on the way home. 4A precious pair of fools you made of yourselves to night. I would call for some thing a little milder than' brandy next time, until your heads get a lit t re tough erand better able to stand it. l am afraid roast coffee would be a little too strong for you, according to the demon stration you have made of your abilities to-nignt. .'. He thinks we are . drunk," chuckled Arthur. "I have a great notion to knock ete was rejoicing at the family alter r good Mr," A ining's roof, when a his hat off. He's excited and his Lead needs cooling." I 'If you do, you'll be very likely to ride home without yours," said Charley.''Stop yqar foolins." said Ned, anxious to avoid a scuffle. ''When do'jou think we'll get home if we have to keep stopping to pick up hats? Brooms wili charge us two psices for the horse if not home before twelve." This had the desired effect of stopping any wrangling that might be springing up. Pocket moocy was'ntj plenty. Charley's reflections were not pleasant when he went to rest that night. He would hav been ashamed fur his lather or mother or sisters to have seen him in such company: He would hate enjoyed the addresses but for the ridicd-leu's behavior of the boys and the consciousness that in the eyes of all present be was one of them. "Ahj father was Tight; father was right," he tliought as he turnrd uneasily upon his pillow. Arthur's conscience did not trouble him. It was only the headache that made him so dull next day,and au empt pocket that made him so cross. Both felt that the trip had not piid. Charley learned a lesson from it that lasted all his life. It was really in this sense a valuable experience for him. Gradually be drifted loose from that class of stu-deuts in Colleg3, and attached himself more closely to aootner set, more noted for their good schoo'a sH p. It was not a remarkable coincidence that they were also students noted for sound minds aud steady habits. It is not the fast young men iu colleges who take the highest honors. t Charley was elected a member of t society which is always chosen from the upper third of the class. This separated him still further from Arthur, and drew him still more intimately into abetter circle. At last came one of those blessed showers of grace which so often come in auswer tr prayer, and many of the most thoughtless were turned into the narrow way that leads to the celestial gate. Th under " letter told them oi the change in their ecu's views and prospects for life. With a glad heart they bid him God spceJ in h.s Juew purpose of ttudying for the ministry. Years, sped on, and both left ollege. Their old friend Ned had gone to a distant State, peeking vainly tbel st health he hd squandered in dissipation. Arthur prepared to make telegraphing his holiness lor life, and with his abilities he was enable to rise to the very height of his prole-sion. But Lis love for strong drink was growing upon him, and every o e looked upon huu, as a man that was fast making a wreck of himself. The war Came, and he obtained it pLce at the head of one of the most important telegraphing positions ia the whole army. A frieud who saw mm, sara that his skill and ability ere of the highest order, but be was fast losing all comrcantT of himself by stroug drink.

Wheu one irets so near the too: or tne hill, the momentum is very gre it. Wbeth er be has yet reiehed the dark pit of a drunkard's grave, which' lies at the bot' urn, I cannot say, but this is a saa en ding of the career of the once dashing, handsome Arthur Atwood. 'It was my father' teachings," said Charles as b'e tcld me a few days ago his old class-mate's history, "that kept me from falling into the same snare.

She forgot that the mot exquisitely wrought column is of stone, and helps support the architrave. The Chevalier Bayard, or 8ir Philip Sidney carries a guitar upon a ribbon, but his sward is hung 'upon leather beneath it. He kueels in graceful compliment to the queen, but be kneels also in prayer to his Maker. The charm of such a character is resistless. How little Sidney did, yet bow much he is the darling of the history of his time, as he was of bis contemporaries Horace Walpble, Who called Goldsmith an inspired idiot, is; tHe only Englishmen who sneers at Sidney. He was kind of flower men, and, like other flow exs he neither toiled or spun. A cumbrous and stately novel in the affected style of his time; a noble essay apon poetry, a few memorable 6onoets, which bis letter to Elizabeth against the French marriase are all that remain to us of what he did. Nobody reads of his 'Arcadia,' few know the sonnets; his letter to the queen is forgotten. But Sidney survives. His name is the synonyme of courtesy and grace, of accomplishment and valor. And he names for us a whole class of men. gentle and spirited as he was, men of the truest temper, of rare gifts, of suotile fascination, whose com-f mg is bright as daylight, and whose refining influence is a permanent benediction.Some of our readers may have seen the name' of a young man of this kind who died not long ago in England Ju.iau Fane. A memoir of him by bis" frieud, Robert Lytton, better known, perhaps, by his author's name, Owen Merideth, was lately published, ifi which the simple tale of the wholy uneventful life of Mr. Fane is so well told that the character cf the man himelf is clearly coovfeyed, with the beautiful impression of his purity and grace, arid soure cooception of that personal influence which Mr. Lytton truly calls "incomrnu-ble." -'Yet," he adds, "the influence of these men upon the society they adorn is too beneficicnt to be altogether evanescent, their present animates and sustains whatever is loveliest in social Hfe; The world's dim and dusty atmosphere grows golden in the light of it. Their mere look rebukts vulgarity. Their conversations elevates their lowest aud brightens the dullest theme. Their intel-ectual sympathy is often the unacknowledged begetter of other men's intellectual labor; amf in the charm of their companionship we are' conscious of those benignant influences which the Greeks culled Graces, but which Christianity has couverted into Charities."

Many Christians who bear the loss of a child, or of their property . witn tne tnsst heroic Christian fortitude, are entirely vanquished by. the breaking, of a dish, or a blunder of a servant. Newton. - ' ..... v Once and only onc, irf tb6' lifetime of of man, an intelligent human eye has been able to look into the stomach, and watch the process cf digestion. In 1822 at the United States military post of Mlehilitnacktnac, Alexjs St Martin', a Canad an of French extraction, received" aecidentlv a heavv charsre of duck-shot j u in his side, while he was standing one yard from the muzzle of the gun. The wound was frightful. One ot. the lungs protuded, and Irom aperture in the ptcm. ach the food recently eaten was oozing. Dr. William Beaumont,U.S. A., the surgeon'' of the post, Was notified, and dress-ed.ths wound. In exactly one year from that day the young mau was well enocgb to get out of doors,- and walk about tbe fort, and he continued to improve, in health and strength, until he was strong and hardy as most of bjs rape. He married, become tbe father of a large family and performed for many years the laborious duties appertaining to o officer 8 servant at frontier post.. But.the aperture into the stomach never closed", , ami the patient would not submit to the painful operation by which such wounds axe sometimes closed r artificially. He wore a cempress arranged by the doctor, without which- his dinner was not sate after he had eaten -it.' . By a most blessed chance it happened that this, Vr. William .Beaumont, station ed there on the outskirts of creation; was an intelligent, ioqaisitive human being & perceived all the value of the opportunity afforded him by his unique event, he eft about . tmrxoyinsr that opportunity. He took the yoting toWinto his. service, and at interval! for eight years he exoerimented unon him. He alone amonsr the sons of men has seen liquid flowing into the stomach of a living per son while vet the Teasel was attbe drink er's lips. Through the aperture (which npd two and a half in circum fence) ho. mild -watch-the entire operation of Attract Awt ha did m hundreds of times. - If the man's stomach aclied. h could' look into If asm! sec what waVhe matter '3nd.aying.rfncl oafj tie wculd drop i rectifying pill cto the aperture. He ascertained the tineitiake to "''dtsr gest each of these articles of food commonly eaten, and tbeffcgtsf all usual errors in eiting and drinking; in 1833 ho published a thin volume at Plattsb-jrg; on Lake Cbamplaiu. in which the results of thousands of experiments and obscrvi tions were only too briefly stated. He appears not to have heard of tetotalisru. and hence all that he says upon the effects of alcoholic liquors is free froinf the suspicion which the arrogance 'and extravagance of eome teetotalers bave thrown over much that haj been pnb lished on, this subject. With a mind un-biased,' Dr. B"eaumont, peering into the stomach cf this stout Canadian, notices -a glass of brandy causes tbe coats of? that organ to assume the same inflimei appearance as when be had been very angry.-or ruacli frightened, or had overeaten, j or had the flow of perspiration suddenly i checded. Id other words; brandy played the part of a joe in his system, not that of a friend, it produced effects which were morbid not healthy. Nor did it make any. material difference whether St. Martin afank brandy, whisky, wine, cider; or beer; except so far as one was stronger than tbe other.' ' v ' ''Simple water says,"Dr. Beaumont, "is perhaps the only fluid called for by the wants of the. economy. The. artificial 'drinks art probably all more or leas injurious, some more than others, but none Can elauri exemption from the general charge. 'Even tea atd coffeev tbe the common be ve razes of ail classes of people, have a tendency to debiltate the digestive organs. .The,'-whole class of alcoholic liquors may be considered as narcotics, producing very little difference in their ultimate enects upon tne system. He ascertained (not gtfessed; - ,nr: in , ferred, but ascertained; watcli irfh'anch that such thiogs as mustard, horse radish and pepper retard digestion. - At 'the close of his invaluable work Df. 'Beau mont appends a long list of '-Inferences' among which are the following: - "That solid food Cf a certain texture Is' easier of digestion than fluid, that stimulating condiments are injurious to the healthy system, that the use of ardent spirits always produce disease of the stomaCli if persisted in, that water, ardent spirits, and most other fluids, are not affected by the gas trie Juice, but pass from the stomach soon after they have been received One thing appears to have much surprised Dr. Beaumont, and that was the de- gree to which St.' Martin's system could be disorderedjjfithout h's being much in-1 convenienced by it. After driokiug hard every day tor eight or tecf days, ibe gtomach would show alarming appearances of disease, aud yet tho man would ouly feel a slight headacbe, 8od a srentle .dullness end languor." James Par ton. Early Progress of Christianity In tfcre Epsi. , , Man j no donbt wiU be surprised f" reading Polo's book, to observe tbe frequent indications it affords of the widespread diffusion of Chris-fra'cily in bis d.ij throughout Central aod East-tera Asia. Without laying too much stress upon tbe reputed preaching of tbe Gospel abd pianli'og of .churches by the apostles in Peir"a, India and Cbiaa, though there is good reasoa to believe that St. Thomas, whose body according to Polo, lies burifd near M tdra.", preached tbe Oospel in tbe lar East, still, it is quite certain tnat Christianity at an early day was disseminata ed quite generally throughout Asia and the Island of the Indian Ocean. At a very- early period there were Christian bishops at Susa aod Persepolis, at Herat, Samarcand, and in SeisUin while tbe Catalan map bears witness to the existence of an Armenian monastry near Lake iRsukul, 'to the north of Kaibgar. Christianity was introduced into China in tbe early tiart of tbe seventh century, about the same - - time as .Mohammedisrn, or immediately after the era of the Uegira. In fact during this apd the succeeding centuries there were flourishing christian churches in every considerable city of central Asia as far east as Yarkand and Kasgar with a chain of bishops aud metropolitans trom Jerusalem to Pekin. f n' Polo's time we Snd Christians not only all along bis route bf travel to the court cf the Great Khan, but also on his return voyage along tbe Coromandel coast in Abyssinia, and especially ia Socotra, an island of the IndUn Sea. Njr were ttese simply missionary out- poits. Kashgar was the seat of a metropolitan see, and so w is Sjcotra, traces of which re nained as late as tbe seventeenth century. At Mosul we find Nestorian and Jacobite Caris-tians, with a patriarchy whom they call the ja- tolic, creates archbishops and abbotg and pre lates of all other degrees, and send them into every quarter, as to India, to Baud?, 6t tJ t?a thay, just as the Pope of Rome does in the Jjt- iA Aiintrips.9 . - 1 . j Xs to tbe causes which led fc tbe "de-cadence an! final disappearance of Christian : ty ia the E st, it may be obeerved that -ih parity of-QhrUtlan doctrine and practice appear r hare become cradually corrupted by its con stant contact with idolatry; and fiaally bjj ingrafting upou its cefeBronial, from unce ro lime, igan rites and cereminies, it at length beca-e merged ia paganism . itself. Polo relates 'that in his time Christian priests practiced as trologj with. a kind of astrolabe,'' together with diviaa-ftm by roas, the tarns as Mm priests of Boddba; while in Abyssinia, they observed the double baptism of fire and water-tie former branding a mark upon the forehead and ether caeek with a hot iron.
